NO! It's one of two made in Denmark, (knowing the owner personally). Body of hand laid fibreglass. And yes 2CV chassis, Visa 652 engine. The pictures were taken at the 2CVGB International in 2005 in Kelso Scotland, where a delegation of Danes attended, including me.

Thank you Lord Kim.
Are you saying it's a modern copy of the Clevedon or that the whole thing is a spoof and the Clevedon never existed but is a modern creation?!

The book is widely available on the internet from all major booksellers.

There's also this article on the Autocar website:

https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/features/somerset-car-company-youve-never-heard-clevedon-motor-cars

What's the whole stsory?  We'd love to know...

But it does seem to me as though you've mistakenly posted in the wrong thread!
